Diverse Beliefs

چکیده
This paper presents a general framework for studying diverse beliefs in dynamic economies. Within this general framework, the characterization of a central-planner general equilbrium turns out to be very easy to derive, and leads to a range of interesting applications. We show how for an economy with log investors holding diverse beliefs, rational overconfidence is to be expected; volume-of-trade effects are effectively modelled; the Keynesian ‘beauty contest’ can be modelled and analysed; and bubbles and crashes arise naturally. We remark that models where agents receive private information can formally be considered as models of diverse beliefs.

متن کاملA note on heterogeneous beliefs with CRRA utilities
This note will extend the research presented in Brown & Rogers (2009) to the case of CRRA agents. We consider the model outlined in that paper in which agents had diverse beliefs about the dividends produced by a risky asset. We now assume that the agents all have CRRA utility, with some integer coefficient of relative risk aversion. This is a generalisation of Brown & Rogers (2009) which consi...
